Boston... slide film processing?

[Asim]

I'll be in Cambridge/Boston (right next to MIT) on Jan 30-Feb 2 (4 days). Is there a place there that can do proper slide film developing? I have a couple of rolls of Provia 100F that I'd like to process.

These are important photos because they are the only film photos of my newborn daughter.

Oh, and I won't have a car with me but I could take a taxi I guess. I'm familiar with Boston because I lived there 20 years ago.

And one other thing... are there any good camera stores I could visit just for the fun of it in this area?

I'd check out Colortek. They're close to South Station and often will be able to get your film back to you relatively quickly.

Well if you don't have a car, you can drop it off with Hunt's Photo in Cambridge (Harvard Sq. just off JFK St. and opposite the Peet's Coffee). They send it to Dorian Labs in Arlington Center I believe.

The only fun camera shops close by are Calumet near the Cambridgeside Galleria mall (can take a shuttle from outside the MIT coop) and Bromfield near the Park St. T stop - the former for digital, and the latter for film stuff (not nearly the same range these days). Hunt's in Melrose is bigger but more of a journey to get to.
